Solution: C

[[math]] \begin{align*} \operatorname{P}(Z \leq 0.72) = 0.7642 = \operatorname{P}(X \leq 2000 ) = \operatorname{P}[Z \leq (2000-\mu)/\sigma] \\ 0.72 = (2000-\mu)/\sigma \\ \operatorname{P}( Z ≤ 1.32) = 0.9066 = \operatorname{P}( X ≤ 3000) = \operatorname{P}[ Z ≤ (3000 − µ ) / σ ] \\ 1.32 = (3000 − \mu ) / \sigma \\ 1.32 / 0.72 = (3000 − \mu ) / (2000 − \mu ) \\ 1.8333(2000 − \mu )= 3000 − \mu \\ \mu =[1.8333(2000) − 3000] / (1.8333 − 1) = 800 \\ \sigma =(3000 − \mu ) /1.32 = 1666.67 \\ \operatorname{P}( X ≤ 1000) = \operatorname{P}[ Z ≤ (1000 − 800) /1666.67] = \operatorname{P}( Z ≤ 0.12) = 0.5478. \end{align*} [[/math]]
